he sealant product is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe
from the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing and stains). If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a CITR

dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
Take care, the sealant product
is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol,
colophony...) if swallowed and causes

tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to
reinitialise the under-inflation detection
system.
Refer to the "Under-inflation detection"
section.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
as t
he fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

-
t
he tyre sizes (including the load index and
speed rating for the tyre),
-
t
he tyre pressure for the spare wheel,
-
t
he paint colour code.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
